CBC Flu Epidemic Results
In Quarantine For Students
The recent Asian "flu" epidemic at CBC resulted in isolation for those
who were affected because it was so contagious and dangerous. The Asian
type of "flu" can result in serious complications, the main one being pneumonia. At the suggestion of Dr. Shard, isolation wards—one in the Women's
Dorm and one in Laurel Hall—were provided beginning Monday, January 8, for
the many students who became sick. A total of 25 students were isolated.
In the Women's Dorm the third
floor wing was used as an infirmary.
This made it necessary for 14 girls
to be shifted out of their rooms. Mrs.
Foster, Resident Counselor, expressed appreciation for these girls
and for their cooperation.
Thanks is also given to Mrs. Morgan, the school nurse, who went far
beyond the call of duty. Mrs. Morgan
is paid for only a few hours a day;
yet during this time she came to
work at 8:00 a.m. and stayed until
4:30 in the afternoon. She returned
in the evening at 6:30 and usually
stayed until 8:30, besides being on
call 24 hours. Her assistant, Karen
Brewer, also should receive thanks
for her help, which was available
any time the girls needed it.
Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Chatham
helped a great deal in making the
girls more comfortable and in assisting the nurse. Kris Scholberg and
Joyce Faulkner were responsible for
taking orders and bringing food to
the sick girls.
Gym Completion Date
Set for June I
The George van Dyne gymnasium
is on its way toward completion.
The latest reports indicate that it
should be completed around June
first. The underground utilities are
now being installed. When this is
finished the concrete floor slabs
will be poured. The walls are to be
a tilt-up construction, and actual
dimensions of the building are 109'
by 162'. The roof will be 29 feet
high.
Plans for the gym include two
classrooms that will be approximately 20 feet square. There will be one
official basketball court and two
practice courts. The floor will be a
spring board construction of hard
rock maple. Bleachers will seat 800
people, with room for bleachers to
be added later. The blueprints show
a stairway leading to a second floor
balcony, which will be added at a
later date.
The gym will include three locker
rooms; men's, women's and varsity.
When the building is completed, there
will be locker bases but no lockers.
Donations are needed to provide the
lockers.
The lobby will be vinal asbestos
with a concession area. The entrance
of the gym will be facing Magnolia
Avenue. Decorative red quarry tile
panels over all the entrances will
give a Spanish architecture effect.
The arches will add a unity of design
with the present buildings.
Choir to Tour Calif.
During Semester Break
CBC's Concert Choir and Les
Chanteuses will be representing the
College during semester break as
they tour Southern California and
Arizona. Beginning January 26, the
group will be traveling in cars rather
than in a bus as in previous years.
The 48-member group, under the
direction of Mr. Walker, and Les
Chanteuses, directed by Mrs. Walker,
